Static load of orders (uc_order_load)

Can you give some examples where this is actually a performance problem?

Also, there needs to be some way of resetting the static cache; what if an order is loaded, updated, saved, and reloaded within the same page request?

Patch should be made relative to the ubercart directory rather than the uc_order directory, and should be rolled against the -dev release if possible. Changing version.

Unsure whether this will affect existing contrib modules that may update an order somehow then expect uc_order_load() to load the updated object later in the same page request, without knowledge of the static cache.

If you can identify where on the admin page order objects are being loaded twice, perhaps that would be a better fix? Presumably you mean /admin/store/orders?

I still don't see how we can do this without affecting contrib through possible stale caches, and I can't see this as a real performance issue either. Please reopen with more info if this is still needed.
